Easthampton, MA, February 1, 2015 - “We have seen a surge in the requests for Resilience training courses in recent months and our new website offers an abundance of information about our Resilience training courses and how they meet the needs of various organizations” states Sales and Marketing Director Lauren O’Boyle.

Bold New Directions has recently contracted to deliver an interactive Resilience training course as part of a week-long summit on this innovative topic. We were contacted by a major North American corporation who were looking for experts on Resilience and we are pleased to report that our company co-founder and designer of our Resilience training courses Jim Hornickel will be delivering this customized Resilience training course to 50 participants in Toronto this May.

Mr. Hornickel is currently writing a book on Resilience and it will be his 5th published book. Resilience is a topic that is has increased significantly in understanding and acceptance as a topic worthy of attention. Studies support the benefit of improved resilience and it is no surprise that our Resilience training courses are in great demand as a result.

Bold New Directions faculty has delivered Resilience training courses to Military organizations such as the Army, Air Force, National Guard and US. Merchant Marine Academy. These Resilience training courses were customized for these military organizations. Ms. O’Boyle states that “we are currently seeing increased interest in ourTrain the Trainer Resilience training courses as well. This program is an excellent way to serve your organization well into the future by becoming certified to teach our material to teams internally” adds Ms. O’Boyle.

Resilience training courses can address the core issues and teach strategies for not only coping with change but thriving in spite of it. We often hear that workplace restructuring is the reason for seeking out Resilience training courses. A restructure or downsize can have a profound impact on all employees whether they are immediately involved or not. It can create an unstable work environment where people struggle to stay focused and do their best work. Resilience training courses help address the key areas one can focus on to build stronger personal and professional resilience. “When one is able to develop their personal resilience skills, it automatically boosts their resilience in a professional capacity” states Suzanne Guthrie, Director of Learning for the Resilience Training Institute. She adds “developing our personal resilience skills should be an on-going effort; the stronger we are able to build them, the better we are to deal with challenging situations in a positive and productive way. Our Resilience training courses offer techniques and strategies for developing our inner resilience skills.”

According to Jim Hornickel, Resilience training courses are essential in the workplace. “Times can be changing and challenging. No organization or individual can survive and ultimately thrive unless they find ways of changing to meet the ever evolving demands of business. But, no matter how adaptable to change the strategic plan is, resilient leadership and resilient employees at all levels are needed to face the challenges head-on. Growing resilience then is the only way to long term success in the workplace.” He adds “when an organization’s culture is built on resilient individual and team contributions, business and individual values are fulfilled, visions are achieved and the organization’s mission is lived on a daily basis. Even in today’s challenging business environments, morale, and productivity can soar, so be the leading edge of change by scheduling a private onsite Resilience training course for your team”.

The Resilience training courses provided by The Resilience Training Institute will teach participants to use specific strategies and exercises to build their resilience. One exercise in this Resilience training course is called the SUPPORT method. S. stands for Stress Hardiness; U. stands for Understanding; P. stands for purpose; P. stands for Perseverance; O. stands for Optimism; R. stands for Resourcefulness and T. stands for Team. “Our Resilience training courses teach the SUPPORT model for resilience early in the class and that model can be utilized by the participants well after their Resilience training course experience” states Faculty member Bob Torsey. “We encourage participants in our Resilience training courses to write in their workbooks during the Resilience training course and then refer back to their exercises often for maximum retention” he adds.

By offering Resilience training courses that are interactive and experiential, participants come away with a greater depth of learning and also have physical material to refer back to post class.
